Help! I can't see my dash

[postalnut25]

So this may sound petty, but I was out working on my tractor yesterday, on a nice sunny afternoon after a storm moved out. After working for a bit, maybe 30 minutes, I took a break and noticed that the sun was so strong I couldn't see my dash. I know I should have noticed it earlier, but I was trying to level a high spot in the yard and I was busy looking at the work area and trying to make sure I didn't hit a tree or fence.

My question is this: Does anybody know who makes a glare shield for the BX tractors?

The digital dash on my 2370 is about impossible to read in the daylight. I tried to find one online, but my google-fu skills must not be that strong.

Thanks in advance for any help that can be given.

Would one of those vehicle visor flip-down thingys work?

I've had some success using polarizing sunglasses to reduce the dash glare when on my L3430.

What's the budget?
Get a cab, canopy or sunshade. Otherwise, buy some sunglasses. :laughing:

Sounds like a job for a piece of cardboard and some duct tape. For the short term anyway.

I think this might be the winner.

I don't have the mechanical know-how enough to figure out how to mount sunvisor. I already wear polarized glasses, and the tractor is wearing a factory canopy. The canopy is nice, but really only shades the seat.

... or do it at a different time of the day?

I researched ways to see a digital camera screen in bright sunlight. Looking at the display through a toilet paper tube came highly recommended. I have yet to try this and can only speculate that a longer tube might work better in your application.

Maybe duct tape an empty toilet paper tube to each lens of your sunglasses? Start an entirely new fashion trend! My F-I-L would buy a set, but only if there was a small amount of paper left on each roll for "field emergencies" if you know what I mean!

I would do this just to make the wifey shake her head and leave me alone to play outside.
